I can’t seem to find a thread on The Four 2. I could have sworn there was one as I have a memory (perhaps false) of making some comment about how The Four 2 was a funky title. Unfortunately, ‘four’ is an unsearchable term for our wonderful forum database. :o
Found it!
The Four 2. Had to search ‘yifei’. And I guess I didn’t make that comment out loud. :o
I do think The Four 2 & The Four 3 are funky film titles.
The Four finale
Man, now I gotta see Four 2. Four 1 is on Netflix. Maybe Four 2 will make it there soon.
